2 x QF General Lounge passes - expiring 8 December 2022 Please PM QFF number and surname if interested

A former neighbour who was an Ansett pilot had a similar experience. Stuck in Hong Kong for several days paying walk-up rates at a hotel. If I recall correctly they ended up paying almost as much as the airfare - not to mention several days lost from their holiday in Europe

Just got a dreaded "Your Booking has Changed" email myself yesterday - not for the first time - for a cancelled flight on our round the world OWA next May so thought I'd share my experience. In summary: Qantas website didn't provide option to accept the change so called up. Got SA call centre...

Apologies - I meant missed connections cover

Did you identify any companies offering adequate cancellation cover?

Once you've got your ticket - you've got your ticket. Your seat is more or less as secure as anyone else's on the flight. Seats would only be unavailable if Qantas (or other airline) has cancelled or altered your flight. Qantas should advise you of any of these changes and propose alternative...

I didn't make a new thread - see post #48 above

Having been in your shoes initially and now more than 3 years later much wiser about the process, I suggest this is the way to go: As the ticketing department doesn’t appear to work on weekends, I’d avoid booking online/by phone over the weekend. Try and do it during Australian business hours...

The points plus pay (as you call it) is a Classic Reward flight and is the way to go for obvious reasons. The only downside to Classic Rewards tickets is their limited availability and they don't earn points or status credits. The other options you mention are what Qantas actually calls Points...

Agree the media wouldn't be interested in a failed reward booking but it seems to me the consistent failure to ticket - or re-ticket - itineraries in time to avoid sectors being lost and then washing their hands of any responsibility might be of interest. If more QFF members were aware of the...

The media storm about call centre wait times earlier this year seems to have had an effect in that the several hours wait times seem to be a thing of the past - at least in my experience. But a consequence of that "improvement" appears to be a drastic drop in the competence of most call centre...

Looking to swap 2 x Qantas General lounge invitations expiring 8 December 22 for the same with expiry of 7 January 23 or later

Knew about the approved categories but was unaware that since Jan 21 USA considers Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism - hence the visa requirement for anyone who has visited there. Now reconsidering our plans - thanks jrsfp.

Given your status and the service you experienced you were almost certainly speaking to the Hobart call centre. The "problem" is with the level of service provided by the non-Hobart call centres which - based on my own experience alone - would have likely not been able to successfully deal with...

Looking to book 2 reward seats on AA MIA-HAV-MIA next May using QFF points. AA site shows reasonable availability in T class but the Qantas website won't recognise HAV as an origin/destination when used in a second leg on a multi-city search. I realise this would require a phone call to book...

A long shot but try Manage Booking on Cathay Pacific. - this worked for me. You'll probably only be offered the option to select seat preferences ie. aisle or window. When you do that it will come back with seemingly random seats selected according to your preference - probably not even in the...

Something else that might be worth a shot that's worked for me in the past to select "unselectable" seats: 1. Go to Manage My Booking on Cathay Pacific 2. Select a seat preference (Window/Aisle) for yourself and your wife - if it works as it has for me in the past you will then get assigned 2...

Richard, I could use 1 of your passes if that works.
